The Impulse, Saviour, and ZAKU landed at the Lodonia lab. They got out of their mobile suits and started looking around. They went into the main lab and started looking around in all the rooms. As they entered one room with large cylindered tubes Rey started having a fit.
"Rey" shouted Shinn
"Get him out of here" ordered Athrun
"I will continue looking for a terminal to find out what happened here" he said
"Yes" said Shinn
He carried Rey out of the lab while Athrun continued looking around. He eventually found a terminal and started looking through it. His eyes widen at what he found and he started downloading the information to his clyuno. "This is where they made those psycho pilots from the last war" thought Athrun
"The ones that stole the Gundams from ZAFT are the next generation of them" he thought
"It's that girl Shinn rescued and the two boys that picked her up" he thought
"So I was right about their being more to them than meets the eye" he thought
"Lafiel" said Athrun into his clyuno
"What do you need Athrun" asked Lafiel
"What is the range for sending data from one clyuno to another one" asked Athrun
"Not very far" said Lafiel
"We have only been able to send communication long distance with them" she added
"Why do you ask" she asked
"Did you find something" she asked
"Yes" said Athrun
"Is everybody listening in" he asked
"Yes" said all the others in reply
"We were ordered to investigate an abandoned Earth Forces lab told to us by a local" explained Athrun
"As we were exploring the lab we can into a room that looked like how Kira described Mendel and Rey had a fit" he continued
"Why would the Earth Forces have a genetic laboratory" asked Dearka
"They hate genetic engineering" he added
"This is where they made to psycho pilots from the last war" said Athrun
"They pumped their bodies full of medicines to be able to fight on our level" he explained
"But they had very severe withdrawal symptoms and caused them to be unhinged" he continued
"That explains why they froze in the middle of battle then retreated" said Kira
"Also why they started attacking anything that moved near the end" said Dearka
"The one who stole ZAFT's new Gundams are the next generation of them" said Athrun
"They control them by blocking out any unnecessary memories and can cause them to break down by saying a certain word" he explained
"They also changed the withdrawal symptoms to their bodies slowly shutting down if they don't get regular doses" he continued
"Is that all" asked Kira
"All the important stuff" said Athrun
"I should go before they start looking for me" he said
"Bye" said Kira
"Stay safe" said Cagalli
"I will" said Athrun
He left the lab and saw Rey sitting against a tree and Shinn getting out of the Impulse. "I contacted the Minerva and they are on their way here" said Shinn
"Good job Shinn" said Athrun
"How are you feeling Rey" he asked
"I'm better now" said Rey
"What happened" asked Athrun
"I don't know" said Rey shaking his head
The Minerva arrived and they started a thorough search of the area. They found multiple bombs and were able to diffuse them. Athrun, Shinn, and Rey were taken to the medical bay and were given a thorough examination. But the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with any of the three of them.
"All three of you are cleared to leave" said the doctor
"Thank you" said Athrun
Talia, Arthur, Athrun, and Shinn started looking around the lab and eventually found the terminal that Athrun used and started looking through it.
Later on after they came back the Minerva's radar went off. "Enemy mobile suit approaching" announced the CIC operator
"It's the Gaia" he announced
"Athrun, Shinn intercept that mobile suit" ordered Talia
"Protect the facility" she said
"Yes ma'am" said Athrun and Shinn
They both got into the Saviour and Impulse and took off.
"Be careful Shinn, it may be loaded with explosives" said Athrun
"I know" said Shinn
The Impulse and Saviour started fighting Gaia and were eventually able to knock it on its back. The Impulse slashed opened Gaia's cockpit with its beam saber revealing Stella unconscious.
Shinn let out a horrified gasp when he saw who was in Gaia's cockpit. "Stella" said Shinn shocked
"Now he knows the girl he rescued is Gaia's pilot" thought Athrun
"What will he do now" he thought
Shinn got out of the Impulse and carefully took Stella out of Gaia's cockpit. He then got back into the Impulse and flew back to the Minerva.
"Maybe there is hope for him yet" thought Athrun
"But how far is he willing to go to protect her" he thought
When Athrun got back on board the Minerva he heard about Stella waking up and started attacking everybody only for Shinn to hold her down long enough for the doctors to sedate her.
"What did they expect to happen" thought Athrun
"She is an Earth Alliance soldier waking up on a ZAFT ship, of course she would start attacking people" he thought
"They must have not gotten very far in that terminal if they don't know about the memory blocking" he thought
In Orb, Kira and Lacus were talking to Cagalli in her home office.
"Why do you want to go into space" asked Cagalli
"We need to find out what the Chairman is really planning" said Lacus
"While the information Athrun is giving us is good, it's only on the movements of the Minerva" said Kira
"We need to know what the Chairman is ultimately planning" he said
"We are going to have to deal with LOGOS and the Chairman to end this aren't we" asked Cagalli
"Yes" said Lacus nodding her head
"Alright" said Cagalli
"But you better stay safe" she said looking at them
"We will" said Kira smiling
The Strike Freedom and Angel were prepped for launch like the first time they went into space. They took off and once the booster broke away, and the Strike Freedom and Angel separated, they joined up with the shuttle carrying Commander Waltfeld and headed to where the Eternal was hidden.
Back with the Minerva, it had left its current base and continued on its way to Gibraltar. Along the way it was attacked by the Earth Forces again. The battle went worse than it did the last time for the Earth Forces since they didn't have the Gaia this time. Also during the battle the Chaos and Abyss were destroyed by the Saviour and Impulse.
While the ship was anchored and making repairs from the last battle, Shinn decided to take Stella away from the Minerva with the Impulse with the help of Rey.
"So he would go that far to protect her" thought Athrun
"Maybe he really has changed for the better" he thought
"But why would the Chairman's spy help him" he thought confused
After bringing Rey to the Captain, Athrun went to Shinn's and Rey's room to look at Shinn's computer. "Maybe I can find out where Shinn is taking her and have Cagalli pick her up" thought Athrun
He started looking through the computer and his eyes widen when he found out where Shinn was taking Stella. "He taking her back to the Earth Forces" he shouted in his mind
"That naïve idiot" thought Athrun
"He hasn't changed at all" he thought
"He is still the same psycho that he was thinking that the Earth Forces won't use her again" he thought
Once Shinn returned he was thrown into the brig along with Rey. Athrun went down to the brig to talk to Shinn.
"Are you here to say what I did was wrong as well" asked Shinn seeing Athrun
"No" said Athrun
"As long as you didn't bring that girl back to the Earth Forces" he added
He saw Shinn flinched when he said that.
"You did didn't you" said Athrun
"What an idiot" he said
"What was that" growled Shinn
"They are just going to use her again" said Athrun
"No they're not" said Shinn
"He gave me his word he wouldn't" he said
"You actually believed him" asked Athrun acting stunned
"You are more naïve than I thought" he said
Shinn just glared at him for that.
"He would have said anything to get her back" said Athrun
"I know that I am right" said Shinn turning away
"I just hope this doesn't come back to bite you" said Athrun walking away
In Orb, Fiona woke up and shot up in bed breathing heavily. Van woke up and asked "What's the matter Fiona"
"I think I just had another vision of the future" said Fiona
"What did you see" asked Van holding her
"I saw a Gundam the size of the Death Saurer attacking a city" said Fiona shaking a little
